The final boss [spoiler]really does take way too damn long.[/spoiler]

And the ending? [spoiler]Seriously, that was it? Voices in the dark? I've been trying not to compare this game to Earthbound - and don't get me wrong, I loved Mother 3 - but EB had one of the best video game endings ever, and Mother 3's was just anticlimatic.[/spoiler]

Just beat Mother 3. Being over cautious, I'm spoilering the rest of this post.
[spoiler]I got stuck on Masked man (chapter.7 version) before the patch so I did some grinding to get up to level 55/get the mystical stick, then the rest of the game was too easy. As with Earthbound, Saturn valley was my favorite part of the game. Also, are there any variations on the ending?[/spoiler]

Beat it a few days ago, only posting about it now because Saturn reminded me

[spoiler]* The ending was kind of anti-climactic, I'll admit. Felt good getting name recognition, though.
* Fassad being one of the Magypsies hit me even harder than it should have once I realized that the Magypsy theme music was... horns, same as Fassad's "speech."
* Holy shit, the later bosses kicked my ass in this. Seriously.
* Tanetane Island had what was quite possibly the best mushroom-induced hallucinogenic fugue that I've seen in a video game to date. Or maybe disembodied faces just creep me out, I don't know.
* The Ultimate Chimera is right behind you. For the love of God, don't turn around.[/spoiler]

Seconded, O Hak., including [spoiler]The Ultimate Chimera in the Bathroom Holy Fuck No Shit No Run DAMNIT![/spoiler]

Okay, this PSP emulator is pissing me off. This is the third time it hasn't retained my save after quitting, and I have to suffer through [spoiler]Hinawa's death[/spoiler] over and over again.

There's an option that forces it to write to the battery file every time you save, instead of only when you quit. That was the first thing I turned on.

I didn't get to see what the final diamond shaped enemies at the end were, because I just ran through and insta-killed them.

It turns out they're... hostile octohedrons (link contains spoilers), which I think is my favorite Earthbound reference/parody.

The PSP emulator is not a friend to save data. Use save states wisely.

So, I beat Mother 3 earlier as well and also am not seeing the difficulty complaints and I didn't even bother to do excessive grinding except at one point so I could get PSI Shield Omega for a certain boss. Maybe it's because I fought the battles like I was playing a Dragon Quest game, but even the last real boss fight felt too easy for me. [spoiler]And when I say like in Dragon Quest I mean abusing the fuck out of abilities that manipulate Offense and Defense along with Shields where useful.[/spoiler]

My Mother 3 Guidebook came in today. The dust cover makes it look like a field guide for the Pork Army.

@TheGlitchmaster It's not too late to order, still got tons of them in stock. We'll be putting up a free online version in a few weeks, too!

Courage Badges, on the other hand, are gone for good.

In general, Fangamer has the most tempting gaming merchandise out there. It's the kind of stuff that I'd use even if it didn't reference games that I want to support.

Kayma · « **Reply #173 on:** March 26, 2009, 09:42:40 PM »

My Mo3 fanguide should be here tomorrow. I'm really genuinely pumped; the teaser PDFs have been really impressive and, hey, franklin badge.

Fangasm imminent.

Do you have to ask if it's awesome?

Zach · « **Reply #175 on:** March 30, 2009, 09:45:06 PM »

Well, well, well. If it isn't my old friend, Mother 3 fan guide. How are you, Mother 3 fan guide? Besides professional!?

I just replayed Mother 3 for the first time, and I found myself enjoying it a lot more than the first playthrough (which I still greatly enjoyed). Since I wasn't rushing through the game as fast as possible, I was able to enjoy all of the incidental dialogue and missable things. For example, the optional Lord Passion boss fight that nets you an amazing weapon for Duster that isn't overshadowed until the end of the game. Better still, since I wasn't rushing so much and I actually fought a lot more battles, I wasn't underleveled for just about every boss encounter.

...And since I had no hopes for a good ending like Earthbound had, I was less disappointed by that.

Cyan Prime · « **Reply #177 on:** May 07, 2009, 08:58:51 PM »

I'm going to play another Mother game. Should I play 1 or 2? I already beat 3 and LOVED it, If I play 1 I'm gonna easy-patch it. Also, should I do a fan translation, or go with the US version?

Mother 2 is to Mother 1 as Evil Dead 2 is to Evil Dead 1.

That's exactly how it is. It's cool that Mother 1 exists, but it's very much the prototype. Recognize that it exists and go straight to Earthbound.
